Whelp, this is as bad as things get, right? Already short two important pieces, the Wild have two more injured in accidents and a third in an ill-conceived fight.
BUT, the home opener awaits.
Ok. I might be ready to talk about this.
Before we get to the hockey, there are two important things to talk about. One is sprots related, one is not.
I’ve been watching “Shameless” on netflix, and I have to say, it’s really good. The drama is top-notch (if a bit predictable after 6 seasons) and the comedy is consistently good. It gives me feelings, which is nice.
Secondly.... The US Men’s National Soccer Team was eliminated from the World Cup on Tuesday because they couldn’t find a way to score against Trinidad and Tobago. TRINIDAD. AND. TOBAG-ok apparently I’m not ready to be rational about this.
In any case. HOCKEY!
